Comparison of User Seat Based Options

Named Seat Based

Concurrent Seat based

Blended – Named and Concurrent Seat Mixed

When to consider

Number of users is small

• Number of users is large
• To minimize initial cost while still allow
access by unlimited users
• A large percentage of the user base are
occasional users

• Number of users is large
• Minimize initial cost while still allow
access by unlimited users
• A large percentage of the user base are
occasional users
• Flexibility to secure for a small
percentage of priority users

Pros

Every user is allocated a dedicated
seat regardless the seat is being
used or not

• Start small yet support access by
unlimited users
• Add additional concurrent seats as
needed – i.e. all seats are being fully
utilized as you create and deploy more
applications

Combine the benefits of the Named Seat
and Concurrent Sean Subscription. Priority
users get a dedicated named seat and
remaining occasional users share
concurrent seats

Cons

May require high investment
upfront to enable dedicated access
by every users when the number of
users is large

The number of concurrent seats really
represents the ‘capacity’ you subscribe that
can be shared by unlimited users so you will
increase the seats as the capacity is reached
– ‘pay as you go’
